My Heart Drops for Drop Waist

Sep 23, 2013

Oh hi there Monday, it's nice to see you around again. And since you're here, let me introduce you to my favorite outfit, ever! Seriously though, if you all wouldn't be bored of seeing the same look seven thousand posts in a row, that's just what I would do with this My Avonlea outfit. I love a good polka dot, so when I saw this ruffled number from My Avonlea, I pounced on it before anyone could nab it. And even though there's a bunch of different ways a girl could style a neutral piece like this, something about it made me want to keep it simple but also more vintage than modern. So I decided to whip out the chartreuse vest again and give this dress a bit of a drop waist look. I love how it turned out!

Also, if you remember this chartreuse vest from this post, you'll know that it used to be a hideously large sweater, and I just snipped off the sleeves to make it usable in a way that didn't revolve around using it for a tent or a winter's blanket. After doing that, I now kind of got a fever and want to go wild in the men's section of a thrift store and find other sweaters I can make into vests. It's such an easy layer and really adds that pop I was after!

I am especially excited to see your fall wardrobe creations because it means even more layering! Drop waist dresses are the cutest and I really love that white polka dot number from their shop! I feel like its been awhile, totally need to catch up on your posts! You are missed at flock together too, I was going to send you a message too but life has just been kind of crazy! I hope all is well though!xo Hannah

I might have to do that too--go buy some men's thrift store sweaters & chop them up. Lovely outfit, for all the usual reasons :) but other things I'm loving? The boots & socks, & your choice of the striped bracelet with the polka dot dress!

Hurray another use for the chartreuse! It's looks so resplendent paired with the navy, there's a kinda nautical 80's golf club member about to venture out on her neighbors yacht for Sunday brunch vibe about this. Oh la la!

Hey girl! LONG time no see! I'm back in the blogging world, my friend. Great look by the way! A nice way to transition from summer in to Fall. I adore those shoes so much and I love how you're this layering genius.

oohoooho YES! I love this outfit and I wouldn't mind one bit if you just continously wore it. That vest atop of it is amazing... you're always exposing me to interesting pieces to style and I just wanna try some new fashionthings this autumn... like cool drop waist vests and your traditional way of styling collars under dresses so nicely. :D

Well shoot, you couldn't look more adorable if you tried! I love love love everything about this outfit. The colors are dreamy, and the boots, socks, and hat? The perfect icing on...the uh...outfit cake? Ugh, sorry. I just really like this outfit.
